The Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) is at the forefront of driving innovation in next-generation communication technologies and services across Europe. At the same time, various national initiatives in Europe are actively advancing 6G technologies and smart services. The SNS JU plays a pivotal role in fostering collaboration between these national initiatives and SNS projects by facilitating the exchange of best practices, research findings, and results.

As highlighted in the recently published SNS R&I Work Programme 2025 (SNS WP 2025), the SNS JU actively encourages the integration of results and experimental platforms from national initiatives into its calls. This approach ensures that Europe remains competitive in the global technology race by effectively pooling expertise and resources across national and EU levels. Furthermore, it supports the EU’s strategic goals of digital sovereignty and technological independence by fostering a cohesive and collaborative research and innovation ecosystem.

In alignment with these goals, and as part of the SNS CSA CO-OP project, 6G-IA is organising a series of webinars where various national initiatives will showcase their key achievements and share information about their experimental platforms.

The fifth webinar in this series is scheduled to take place on 28^th Oct 2025, from 13:00 to 14:30 CET, featuring an in-depth presentation of the Swedish 6G R&I activities as a part of their national program.

Swedish National Initiative

Advanced Digitalisation is an industry-driven research and innovation program aimed at promoting and accelerating Sweden’s and Swedish industry’s capacity to create the digital solutions of the future, thereby driving the necessary transitions we face. This is achieved by funding demand-driven research and innovation initiatives and establishing cross-sectoral structures for collaboration. With a yearly budget of SEK 1 billion (about EUR 900 million), the program is one of the largest research and innovation initiatives in Sweden.

Digital infrastructure and communication are one of the program’s central focus areas, making Advanced Digitalisation Sweden’s leading funder of research and innovation in the field. The program supports the development and use of 5G in industry and highlights the importance of 5G Standalone as both a driver for industrial digital transformation today and a necessary step towards 6G.

In this webinar, Sweden will introduce their program and take a closer look at some initiatives within digital infrastructure, with a particular focus on 6G. Representatives from competence centres and a strategic project funded by the program will share insights from their work. As an introduction, Vinnova will provide an overview of Swedish 6G initiatives.
